Hello! I can’t believe that it’s been over 8 months since my last post! I’ve been reading when I can, trying to keep up with all of the new bees, but it’s been a while since I had time to sit down and write something. And, to be honest, I haven’t felt witty or creative in ages so I’m sure I’ll be a bit rusty, hopefully you’ll forgive my slow start if I offer you lots of pictures!
I want to share pictures of a fantastic wedding that I went to last summer. As you might remember, Mr. Pumpkin is from a small farming community about 20 minutes outside of the city where I grew up and that is where this wedding was held. The bride is from this town but her groom is from Ottawa where they live now. Because of the distance, the guests were mostly locals and so the day was filled with the warmth and laughter that only comes when you have a room full of old friends and family.
Although I have no confirmation on this, I would guess that the budget was less than $5,000. The flowers were simple, the favours were homemade jam, the wedding was in the town church and the reception in the town hall, the buffet was prepared with love and served by friends, and it is by far one of the best weddings that I have ever been to! I wish that I had gone to this wedding before having my own because it reminded me what the day is supposed to be about - friends, family and above all, love. The rest is great too, but if you have those three key things, the rest is gravy.
The one picture of me in this batch!
This is the officiant - getting the party started! The dance floor was never empty after that.
Here’s hoping that you all have as wonderful a day as this was!
